Product Description
What's new? Me, for starters... It all began when my job offered me a buyout package. That's when the realization hit: I'm young, I'm rich (thanks to a hefty inheritance), and I'm boring. Things are gonna change-starting now... Building a better man trap... First things first: Exercise. Carrot juice. Straight hair. Whiter teeth. Clothes that fit. But wait-there's more. I'm finally ready to take a chance on love with the perfect guy. He's handsome. He's smart. He's reliable. He's my CPA. Problem is, I'm clueless about winning him over. It's time to call in an expert. It's time to call in The Dog. Down, boy. Mike "The Dog" Dougherty is a man's man. A guy's guy. Okay, he's a chauvinist pig, and his sty is "The Dog House," a testosterone-charged column in Maximum for Him magazine. On one hand, I abhor all he stands for. On the other hand, who better to coach me? So here I am. Learning the complex unspoken language of the American male (Talk, bad. Sex, good.); trying exciting new things (Stripping lessons are empowering. Really.); falling for Mike. Uh oh. But the Mike I'm getting to know is different from The Dog. And the Mona I'm becoming isn't quite who I expected, either. This whole makeover scheme is getting crazier by the minute. But "crazy" beats "boring"...right? Visit us at www.kensingtonbooks.com

 There has to be something better for you to read than this, 2008-02-21
I've read quite a few books in the "Chick lit" genre and this one would have to be the worst of the lot. It starts out as a serious book with a horrific tragedy, but then moves on to scenarios that were so outlandish they weren't even close to believable. Maybe they were supposed to be funny? Bottom line: I just didn't enjoy it. It wasn't laugh out loud funny (like so many in this category are), it didn't hold together, and it just wasn't convincing at all.
It felt to me like the author couldn't decide what to do with this book. If you have a choice, I would opt for something else.

Great Story, miss bigger paperback version, 2008-02-08
I used to own the larger paperback version and I loaned to someone and never got it back. I bought this one to replace the other. This is one of my favorite novels that I read from time to time. Totally about finding oneself and making friends with people whom you never thought about. I like the larger version as it was easier to hold and read, but this is easier to tuck into my purse. If I had the resources, I would turn this one into a movie....it would be a hit. I see Sandra Bullock in the lead role and Matthew McCon as Mike the "DOG." The stripper sister would be perfect for Kathrine Heigl.

 Hilarious, 2007-10-07
I can't put it down. The most hilarious part for me so far is Mona being so invisible that she gives out fake famous names in Starbucks. I have started doing this too! A book almost any woman can relate to.

Read it in one day, 2007-08-15
A quick chick-lit read that you already know the ending to. I liked it anyway.

The worst book!, 2007-05-15
This is without a doubt the most awful book that I have ever read. The story idea was cute and could have made a fantastic book...but this book was just horrible. I have no idea how it can be considered a romance novel. There is not one ounce of romance in the entire book. There is no way that a reader would think that Mike and Mona have fallen in love by the end of the book...and speaking of the ending it was a completely ridiculous and unrealistic ending and frankly it wasn't even funny. I don't usually write reviews and I usually give ever book I read atleast 3 or 4 stars even if it was just okay...if I could have given this book less than 1 star I would have. Please don't waste your time!
